We currently have the following setup:
Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required.
Our users get the initial message telling them their account has been created but not activated yet. They however, are not receiving anything automatically upon activation takes place. Is that by design? How do we automatically enable a follow up notification?

I just took a look at this and you are correct. There is no email sent after a user is marked active by an administrator where the account is to be administrator approved. I took a quick look at the workflow-ng.module and while this provides some nice workflows it doesn't send an email on an account being marked active. I don't have access to install the actions.module at moment but I'd be worth an investigation to see if that will fire an email when necessary.
I'm doing it manually
This is an interesting question.
Right now I'm manually notifying users that their account have been activated. Well, it's a Drupal 5 web site anyway.
As for Drupal 6 there is workflow or actions. However, right now, I do not have access to any Drupal 6 installations to test this out. I shall look at this later.

in drupal 5.x actions and workflow are contrib modules and what I was referring to.
I used the user_status
I used the user_status (http://drupal.org/project/user_status) module for a site I built with the same issue, it sends customisable emails when user accounts are activated, blocked or deleted.
hope this helps.
